A/N: First let me say this I love you guys I popped up on the scene in April with a few stories not thinking anyone would read my story and this one took off. It was going to be a one shot but someone commented and said, "hope you continue this", and here I am with 60+ some odd chapters and cliffhangers [lol]. The way I thank you for reading my fic is by using your comments/reviews in chapters that's the least I can do you guys be leaving some awesome comments behind and I read and reread them and I laugh some of them be having me in stitches and they also be having me thinking and I'll hit you up in a PM or twitter and we'll work it out. This is to me is a joint project with me at the helm with my creative mind and you guys. Anyway…

Mercedes POV

"Mom! Why?!" Tana went outside continuing her conversation. "Why did you tell her?"

"Come on Mercedes stop being so secretive! You're married!"

"Y'all kicked Shane out! YES!" Stevie puts the bags from Target on the couch going back outside taking pictures with alongside Stacey.

"Mom you don't get it! You just do not get it do you!" She looked at me confused. "We need to have another talk. GAME ROOM NOW!"

"You don't have to yell at me."

"Mom you are really treading lightly with me. Game room." I pointed and she went inside and I followed behind her locking the door.

"What now?"

"Mom first you come out here and not tell me that you're returning then once here of which you weren't even here for twelve hours you spill my pregnancy news which was only supposed to be only known to you, daddy, Mary and Dwight and now the ND family knows."

"So."

"So?" I folded my arms across my chest. "Mom, no so it's a lot on my plate with Tank and other stuff I don't need any more stress than I already have! I know you mean well that you wanted to come out here and assist and help me out but I'm not even almost a month and the baby isn't due until May. You can go home."

"I'm not going home. I'm going stay here. TJ needs me and although you don't think you need me you do. Look at the stuff that's going down. Why is Shane being kicked out? He's your bodyguard."

I pat my hand on my thigh. "Mom…I don't want talk about this now."

"Why is the game room locked?! I wanna set up the new system!" Stevie yelled.

"What new system Uncle Stevie?"

"I got you the XBOX ONE!"

"YAY I always wanted one of those! Mommy you almost done in there."

"I need a break. I need some alone time!" I opened unlocked the door and Stevie, TJ, and Logan ran by me I went outside and Tana was still on the phone. I took it. "Hello. Kurt. Yes, Tana's going to call you back later. I need to talk to her alone. Bye. You and me bedroom now." I took Santana's hand and pulled up the stairs to the bedroom I locked the door behind us and I leaned back against the door.

"'Cedes what's going on. I called your phone and it went straight to voicemail. Are you keeping secrets from us again?"

"No, just that Tank called my phone." I walked over to the couch plopping down.

"He knows your new number."

I nodded my head. "Yeah, Shane gave it to him."

"Who is Shane?"

My mother jiggled the doorknob I know it's her because TJ's in the game room. I went over to the door and opened it. "Mom, can you please give Santana and me some privacy. I'll tell you later you don't have to eavesdrop."

"Fine." She said as locked the door behind her and returned back on the couch. "Ugh…smothering!"

"Okay, what is your mother doing here? I thought she went back home."

"She came back because of the baby." I massaged my temples.

"How long is she staying? A few weeks?"

I glanced over at Tana opening one eye. "No, she's staying until the baby is born."

"You're joking!"

"No."

"I understand that she's your mother but no. You have to tell her to go home! When did she get here?!"

"She doesn't want to miss anything like she did with TJ. She got here last night I was on the phone with Sam when she popped up in my room."

"That's too much. There is thing called photography, FaceTime, Skype, Facebook, IG, and video chat let her pick one my mother wasn't like that when I had Gabby." Tana counted the ways of communication on her fingers. "We'll get back to smother mother in a minute. So who is Shane?"

"Shane is well was one of my bodyguards I had 3, him, Azimio, and Ray."

"That big dude clothes that was in the driveway?" She went over the window and he was still picking up his clothes and Puck was still yelling at him.

"That would be him. Come to find out that Shane knows Tank and he gave him my number. He blocked his number and called me and I answered. I don't know why."

"So Shane is fired."

"Hell yeah. I can't have him around my son and me. TJ knows him."

"TJ knows Shane? How?" She asked sitting back on the couch.

"Shane came by the house one of them times Tank beat me up and TJ spotted him just that Shane didn't see TJ."

"Glad TJ has a good memory because me I can't remember shit unless it is really important even then I need a reminder to write it down. He's 5 with that memory. I'm going to need to his great memory to rub off on me. So, are you going to get another bodyguard?"

"No, my cousin J3 is coming back so he's going to be the third one. That's all I need."

"Are you sure? I think you need a few more."

"Three is good I have my brother and Stevie so you can up that to five. So much is going on. I have an interview lined up." I was looking through my calendar of the things I had lined-up.

"That's good! What's it about?"

"My upcoming shows at the El Ray and I have the questions sent over and I'm going to drop that I was in an abusive relationship during that interview."

She stretched her eyes. "Woaw are you ready to speak on it?"

"Yeah, I am. I held this in long enough my fans need to know what I've been through."

"Is it in person or over the phone?"

"In person I want Sam to be there as support but he's in San Diego working and I don't want him to drop what he's doing for that."

"So, why don't you reschedule it for when we have the BBQ?"

"BBQ?" I questioned. " A BBQ for what?"

"You and Sam are pregnant!" She poked my stomach. "Well you are Sam only released something this is cause for a celebration I'm supplying the fire and maybe J3 can man the grill."

"We can't do it this week. Sam is coming home on Friday so TJ and I can head down to San Diego with him."

"Damn. We'll that's fine. We can do it on week 3. We are having a BBQ for this. Are we still on for the end of the summer beach bash?"

I tossed my head back. "Totally forgot about that. Yeah we are. We have to plan this because I don't want a repeat of last time."

"Neither do I we are the ones going shopping for stuff can't trust the guys. A cart full of toys? Has TJ played with all of them toys yet?"

"No half of them is still in the boxes I got half a mind to wrap them up when Christmas rolls around."

"So back to your mother 9 months? Do you want her here? Does Sam want her here?"

"Sam broke some glass and was cursing but he said in the next breath that she can be used to his benefit while we're in San Diego."

She raised her eyebrow. "San Diego? You think he's going to pop the question while you guys are down there. I know y'all already married but he can."

"I thought that too I hope he does. I need some happiness this week if he does that it would erase all this going on now. You know every time Sam goes away something happens. The first time TJ ran into Tank and his mother, Stevie got shot, second time my brother got shot, this week Shane knows Tank. Then last weekend TJ and Logan were on the playground and some guy called TJ's name. He's dreaming about Tank again."

"Again? This happened before?"

"That's right. You don't know. When TJ ran into Tank the first time he started dreaming about him and they stopped only to come back again when JJ got shot thing is he didn't tell me. He confided in Logan then Logan told me."

"Logan is only 6!"

"That's what I told him. His dreams are so bad Tana when I tell you about this dream and when we go back down to the game room and you see my son laughing and playing you'd be like that dream and him. Okay this dream happens at his school. He's outside waiting for his daddy and Tank appears out of nowhere with a gun he points it at TJ and tells him to get in his car."

"What happens next?"

"That I don't know he says he wakes up when that happens."

"You and Sam need to listen even closer to TJ's dream; he's foretelling what's going to happen if it happens. I heard there was a plot to kidnap TJ." She did quotations on if.

"Where you hear that from?"

"Oh the ND family we had our own powwow the day Puck beat up Tank. We wanted to know everything about Tank and his musty ass mother and why they want TJ. Do you have a trust fund set up for TJ? Does he get money if you know that happens to you?"

I chewed on my lip. "I do have a trust fund set up for TJ but they don't know about it. That money is for TJ's education and whatever he wants to do when he reaches that age of 21. Y'all really had a powwow?"

"Yes, Mercedes we care about you and when you came here the last part of June and when you returned with your son it was even more concerning. I'm not judging you for staying that long but I'm glad you left. Who knows what could have happened to you or TJ and we wouldn't have known? I'm glad you ran into Sam at the grocery store it was meant for you to run into him that day. Is that why Logan is spending the week because of what happened on the playground?"

"I didn't know about his dream then but yeah that's the reason why Logan is here a playmate for him this week."

"Well maybe this upcoming week Gabby could spend the whole week give Brittany and me a break." Gabby and TJ? I was about to answer when my phone rang.

"You spoke him up."

"I see I did which is good."

I hit accept and Tana leaned over. "Congratulations on the baby Trouty Mouth and Aretha. I'm going to go and nag your brother." She left the bedroom.

"She knows about the baby, baby?! Who told her?"

"TJ and my mother I knew I should have got all those fools to sign contracts."

"Even our son and Logan."

I nodded my head. "Even them too. Yeah baby AJE is known."

"Hopefully they don't know her name?"

"No the name is our secret. Why are we calling this baby her? We don't even know."

"Look I know it's going to be a girl like I told you I wanted a son I got TJ and I put a girl up in there. So how is everything?"

"Everything has hit the fan. Shane."

He looked towards the ceiling. "What the hell did he do now?"

"Gave my number to Tank."

"What in the hell?! How does he know Tank?! Did they check backgrounds?! I'm coming home to beat his ass!"

"Baby no you don't have to Puck handled it. I don't know how he knows Tank but TJ knew his face we can talk about this later I'm all Shane and Tank out. What are you doing calling me at this time? Don't you have a meeting?" The clock on the dresser was 4 o'clock.

"We'll talk about this later I do. I just wanted to see your face. I miss you baby." He poked out his lip.

"Aww…I miss you too."

"How is your mother?"

"Smothering I'm ready for her to go home."

"Already baby! She hasn't even been there a full day."

"Honey you don't know you're in San Diego you are away from this. Are you sure you want her to join us? I haven't even asked her."

"Yeah, she can come I have plans."

"What plans Samuel?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" He smiled.

"Yes."

"I can't tell you baby all you need to know that it includes you, me, and TJ. I got to go. I'll call you around 7 tonight. I love you baby."

"I love you too." I set my phone to the side. "Myself, him, and TJ. So why does my mother got to be there?"

Sam's POV

I was about to walk out of my office when my phone rang I flipped it over to see who it was. I don't want to answer but I am.

"Hello."

"YOU ARE HAVING A BABY!" I pulled the phone away from my ear. "SAMUEL THADDUES EVANS! HOW COULD YOU NOT SHARE!"

Kurt was still running off at the mouth I put my phone on the desk it got silent. "Are you done?!" I yelled picking up the phone putting it to my ear. "Finally."

"Yeah, I'm done. A baby! I'm so happy for you both. Is this the news that you didn't want to share with us?"

"Yeah, Kurt."

"When are you guys due?"

"Sometime in May." I flipped the calendar to the month of May and circled a date the 28th.

"Ooh a spring baby! Tana told me your mother in-law is in town and I'm heading right on over there so she and I can chat it up! How long is she staying?"

"You're heading over there right now? 9 months."

"Yes I am! This is good! I'll call you tomorrow but before I let you go. When are you planning to pop the question to Mercedes? I've been meaning to ask you."

"Um…" I took a sip of water. "This weekend."

"Great! We'll talk to you tomorrow about rings. I'll pick Mercedes brain while I'm over there! Hopefully it's a girl so I can style her in the greatest fashions 'Cedes already does an excellent job with TJ. Bye Sam."

I didn't even say bye back. I eyed my phone. "Kurt is on his way over to my house with my pregnant wife and her mother is there along with Tana." I hit 1 and called Mercedes. "Baby, baby no, no, listen up! Kurt is on his way over! Yeah! I just got off the phone with him. He's coming to chat it up with your mother! You might need some Advil! You don't have any! Send Stacey out to get you a whole box! Buy out the supply! Yeah. I got you with the heads up baby. I love you. Bye." I let out a loud sigh. "I feel so sorry for you baby but it'll be all worth it in the end."

A/N: Again THANK YOU. PS: Little known secret about me, I just got into Glee in March. So I'm a newbie. Cleaned up chapter 14. I need space for other chapters! Kurt is on his way over! Y'all want Gabby to spend next weekend with TJ. Lol. I feel his 5 year old stress already! When will Mama Jones leave? Should 'Cedes tell her mother all? Tank return next chapter? What's going on with his mother and Rick? We'll see in the next update. JLS (:
